Neetu dons the Burqa

Neetu Chandra recently learnt a very important lesson in her life. While she has always wanted to look pretty in western outfits, it was her Indian look and dusky beauty that bagged her role in the prestigious Greek production. Travelling to other countries for work and mixing up with crews from different countries taught her to value her own identity and looks. She says she was always proud of being an Indian and had never any aspirations of being a foreigner "gori" look alike but peer pressure to look good western clothes had always been omnipresent. The film which will release in festival circuits internationally has given Neetu a new sense of comfort in her own body frame and Indian clothes. When you don't want unwanted attention while travelling on roads then Burqa can be a girl's best friend. The actress has been recently wearing the Burqa these days to travel in auto-rickshaws since her car has gone for repairs and will still take a fortnight to get repaired. But overenthusiastic reception from men and cabbies and auto drivers has forced Neetu to take refuge under the Burqa. Says Neetu Chandra " I am enjoying the liberating experience of walking on the roads unrecognized. Even after my car comes back I think I will keep the Burqa."
